The photographer Stuart Redler has launched a search to find a British twin town for Timbuktu (right) in Mali. The quest coincides with the start of Redler's exhibition of West African images and aims to help raise awareness of the city.

British towns, cities and villages can be nominated online. Delegates from the winning town will be invited to visit Timbuktu.

Bids must be received by November 15. For details see www.stuartredler.com

Jackson Pollock's work might be high on innovation and style and low on conventional representational merit, but that has not stopped one of his works, "No 5, 1948" becoming the world's most expensive painting yesterday, when it was sold for £73 million by the Hollywood mogul David Geffen, in a deal brokered by Sotheby's. It beats the record previously established by Gustav Klimt's picture "Adele Bloch-Bauer I" last June, which sold for a comparatively trifling £70 million.
